Puncture Number 3

Puncture Number 3

It’s been a wee while since my last puncture but this one happened right in the middle of Princes Street on my way home last night!

Thought the bike felt a bit slow then when I went to change direction the front end felt like mush – flat as a pancake. It wouldn’t stay pumped up but fortunately I had a spare tube and tyre levers with me so fixed it in the grounds of the church at the West End.

The worry – like when I last fixed a puncture – was that I hadn’t found the cause (and I hadn’t) and I was just going to get another flat. No such problem this time – home fine and fixed the other tube which is now my spare. Must have been a sharp stone or bit of glass as there is a tiny cut in the tyre corresponding to the hole in the tube.
